Get Organized!!

How many times have you made a New Year’s resolution to get organized? Chances are, more than you can count. The thing about getting organized is that it doesn’t have to be a monumental event, and it can be fun and rewarding.

Joe Cirillo, nationally recognized organizational and time management expert, has recently written a book on this topic. It’s Your Time demonstrates that not only can you easily get organized, but you can have fun doing it too.

“Don’t try to tackle too much at once,” says Cirillo. “ Start in the place where you begin and end your day – the bedroom.”

Cirillo’s book walks you through a process that will have your closets cleaned, your nightstand organized and your slippers ready for wearing, as opposed to hiding from you under the foot of the bed. He explains that clutter is a huge stressor in most people’s lives, so instead of tackling the issue, we tend to store and ignore – which only exacerbates the problem, resulting in more stress.

What Cirillo is good at is getting people to acknowledge that maybe they don’t really need those five pairs of running shoes they no longer wear but haven’t really considering parting with. To get organized, he suggests that you work up the courage to purge those items that you haven’t used, let alone remembered you even own. Once you have a clean closet, cleared of its excess bulk, you will be able to find things more easily and ultimately save yourself time that you have been habitually wasting for years. Isn’t it time you face the challenge and get organized?
